Question about the red metallic

[ltrainer]

Sounds like my mom who is 87 with her new flat top stove with a digital oven temp setting. Over and over and over...lol.

So I just asked Wayne since he's familiar with the candy red metallic....this metallic red Reo is darker and not candied.

It depends on how the light hits it. It can be brighter or darker depending on how bright the ambient light is. Here are a few pics of my metallic red to show the difference.

The second picture (darker red) is closer to my car than the first one I think.

This was taken in the house with kitchen light and skylight above. It's a video...click on it.

Seems a lighter red also, but sounds like there was a lot of light on it too.

right, so who do i need to get to know on mcchord? lol

Me, if I PCS out of the UK in 2015 and get JBLM, in the mean time... I don't know anyone there at this time LOL.

Here is a pic I took of my car when I first got it (before smoking out the lights and tinting the windows.), before I picked it up from the UK spec conversion lot (yes, it's wet). The metallic probably is not visible because of the distance to the car, but the paint IS a red candy metallic clearcoat (M7219A, "U6" Red Candy Tint Metallic) from the factory. Read a post on a Mustang forum that in '08, Ford's paint code of "JV" (Dark Candy Apple Red Clearcoat Metallic) is the same color, but I don't know that for sure. I tried to turn the picture sideways (to make it upright) before saving as a .png and uploading to this post... but it still came out sideways, sorry. I'll have to take another pic of it tomorrow and upload it with Tapatypo.

Should be sunny(er) here this afternoon, I'll get a pic on my phone and upload it.

Showing photos of your car doesnt really help because of all the reasons about showing photos of Reos to you. I think if matching is important the only really good way would be to either find someone that has one and its in your hands or order a door to see if its what you are looking for.

Yeah, someone asked for pics, so thought I'd oblige.

I'm beginning to think the easiest thing to do would be to order a black one, and ask if I could get a door in the raw, then take the door to a collision repair center and see if they'd be willing to paint it up by paint code.

I had aluminum armor panels paint matched to my jeep. as long as you're willing to pay they will do it.

Went from this

to this

 

[Borescoped]

Nice rig! Yeah, I don't know how much I'd get charged... But it WOULD be cool.

Could you buy the touch up paint for your car and paint the door yourself?

 

[Borescoped]

I'm afraid that I wouldn't do the REO door any justice, and it would look like crap. In the case of painting, I'm better off taking it to a pro.

and EXACTLY why I ONLY shoot RAW, don't care what I am shooting! Only I decide what data gets tossed... or that's what I tell myself anyway....lol

that's why I was asking a raw files. a Photo taken raw with a 18% gray or white card in the photo would allow him to do a much better comparison. While I agree if you aren't correcting your monitor with a spectrum analyzer your colors could be off. But this allow a comparison with two being off the same.

For those that don't know when you take a jpg pic, the camera acts as a dark room and applies white balance color correction and other things to the photo it capture and then throws out a bunch of data collected. For camera's that can take a raw photo, no processing is done in camera and all data captured by the sensor is placed in the file. then Photoshop, Lightroom etc. can be used to process the photo.

On my camera, a 21meg raw file is compressed to 6 meg jpg. so the camera throws out 14 meg of picture data if it does the processing.

I have the metallic red door and it's VERY hard to get an accurate color image of it. 1st the metallic parts don't show up as well.
